I could have bought 2 by now instead of aftermarket ones...If you have a BA then ebay ones are great..BF go to ford...Got one today $263..Genuine BF Hego Sensor

One is a green plug, the other blue.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GENUINE-FORD-FALCON-AU-BA-TRANSIT-4-WIRE-OXYGEN-SENSOR-/370514699355?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item564465a45bThanks for all the help guys.....found this straight from the BA service manual. "On I6 engines, there is one Heated Exhaust Gas Oxygen (HEGO) sensor mounted in the exhaust manifold above the engine pipe connection flange. On V8 engines, there are two HEGO sensors, one for each bank, mounted in the engine pipe just below the exhaust manifold."

I'm wondering what the difference is between green & blue plug, other than colour. Mine is BA & the original one is green, so hopefully I should be sweet. I just thought the BF's plug was blue?

My ba ran ok on the eBay plugs. Should be ok for your ba mate. The new bf one I bought from ford was green. Don't know what the colour difference is. Maybe one is Chinese and ones not.
